MY KITTEN IS THROWING UP

Question
I WAS JUST RECENTLY GIVEN A KITTEN. THE FIRST DAY I GOT HER SHE HAD ALREADY ATE SO THE REST OF THE DAY SHE JUST KIND OF SLEPT AND WALKED AROUND. WHEN I BROUGHT HER HOME I SET UP HER CAT LITTER, WATER, AND FOOD DISPENSER. SHE VERY QUICKLY USED THE RESTROOM AND I NOTICED IT WAS WATERY AND SHE ALSO URINATED. SHE CHASED AROUND A LITTLE BALL AT FIRST AND THEN JUST HID IN ONE OF MY ROCKING CHAIRS. THE NEXT DAY I GOT HER TO EAT A COUPLE OF PIECED OF KITTEN DRY FOOD FROM MY HAND BECAUSE SHE WOULD ONLY DRINK WATER FROM THE SAUCER. BUT THEN I HR LATER SHE THREW UP. SHE HAS BEEN SLEEPING ALLOT BUT THEY SAY ITS NORMAL. I HAVE GOTTEN HER TO PLAY AT TIMES, BUT I THINK SHE MIGHT BE DEPRESSED. I HOPE ITS NOT THAT SHE IS SICK BECAUSE THE OWNER SAID THE DAY BEFORE SHE WAS FINE EATING AND PLAYING. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN GIVE HER TO CHEER HER UP OR HELP HER EAT. I TRIED MILK AND SHE DRANK IT FROM A SYRINGE AT FIRST BUT I KNOW ITS NOT HEALTHY FOR HER TO JUST DRINK MILK.

Answer
Rene- Please take the kitten to the vet for a check up.  There are many illnesses that can hit this kitten.  It would be good for the vet to have a look and do some blood work.  JUST to be safe.

Best wishes,
Let me know what the vet says...
